After being married off, she was favored by the powerful official

Chapter 169 Assassination

Xie Qing was still immersed in his complicated feelings towards Aunt Xu. Marquis Yongchang and Mrs. Huo's hearts were filled with alarm when they heard this.

"Jin'er, are you telling the truth?"

Seeing Gu Jin nod, Mrs. Huo looked at Aunt Xu with murderous intent in her eyes.

Yongchang Hou's eyes were like blades, "Xu Ruofu, you dare to collude with foreign enemies."

Aunt Xu was not familiar with medicine. How could a woman who never left the house get so many strange and exotic medicines? It was obvious that she had made a deal with someone.

When Aunt Xu saw that Gu Jin had torn off her last layer of mask, she was furious.

"Damn bitch! You're just like Su, you only know how to get in other people's way!"

Over the years, she has been instilling in Xie Qing the threat posed by the Su family to him, because only when Xie Qing is afraid will he rely on her and need her.

Even though he is now an adult, his character is already deeply rooted.

She knew Xie Qing's character too well. Even if he had doubts in his heart, as long as she played the emotional card, Xie Qing would still obey her.

But she didn't expect that Gu Jin knew so much.

Gu Jin looked at her coldly, his tone disdainful, "What do you mean by your way?

Everyone is walking peacefully on their own path, don't you have to interfere?

Do you think you are the protagonist of this world and everyone should give way to your ambitions, otherwise they will be sinners?"

Every word Gu Jin said was heart-wrenching. Aunt Xu's eyes were red with anger. Her hatred for Gu Jin had surpassed that for Su Shi. "Bitch, why didn't he kill you back then!"

Aunt Xu stepped forward to tear Gu Jin apart, but Wu Mu grabbed her shoulders with a grappling hand.

Gu Jin narrowed his eyes, "You were also the one who ordered the assassination of me that day?"

Gu Jin suddenly thought of what Xie Ran had investigated, "Those are the wolves from the northern border of Zhao State. Do you have any dealings with the people of Zhao State?"

Aunt Xu knew that she had said something wrong and refused to say another word.

Mrs. Huo and Marquis Yongchang looked at her as if she were a dead person.

Aunt Xu was really scared this time, and she cried to Xie Qing beside her.

"Qing'er, save me! I'm the only one in this mansion who is willing to do good for you. They are all lying to you!"

"Qing'er, have my kindness to you over the years been fake? Have my plans for you been fake?

You can’t be fooled by them!”

Xie Qing had a splitting headache. In fact, his memory of his biological mother had long faded. It was indeed Aunt Xu who had been by his side taking care of him all these years.

When he was sick, Aunt Xu stayed by his bedside all the time.

"Father, even if Aunt Xu was wrong, at least she has worked hard. Please show some mercy and spare her life." After all, Xie Qing couldn't bear to watch Aunt Xu die.

Marquis Yongchang looked at Xie Qing with disappointment in his eyes. No wonder His Majesty made such a decision. With Xie Qing's character, how could he continue the glory of Marquis Yongchang's Mansion?

"Xie Qing, do I need to explain to you the crime of treason?" Marquis Yongchang felt physically and mentally exhausted.

He fought on the battlefield for decades, but in the end his eldest son was raised to be a useless person who could not distinguish right from wrong and had an unstable stance!

Xie Qing moved his lips, "There's no one else here, let's not talk..."

"shut up!"

Marquis Yongchang could no longer tolerate this and threw the teacup on the table at Xie Qing.

The tea leaves were all over Xie Qing, and he felt so embarrassed that he didn't even dare to look up at Gu Jin's eyes.

"Do you want the entire Yongchang Marquisate to die because of this bitch? Have you completely forgotten about the Shen family's extermination?"

Xie Qing trembled and dared not say anything.

The Shen family was so glorious in the past, but overnight, all nine clans were implicated just because of treason.

"Take Madam Xu away first. I will go to the palace to report in person!"

Aunt Xu struggled hard, but when she saw that Xie Qing refused to pay attention to her, she put away her pitiful expression and started cursing, "Useless thing, no wonder you can't beat Xie Ran! You are just as weak as your mother!"

Xie Qing didn't expect Aunt Xu to humiliate him like this. He felt ashamed and sad for a moment, and felt that he had been betrayed by the whole world.

"Let me go! Xie An, you beast! I will take you with me even if I die!

Do you know who is above me? I can destroy your family with just a word..."

Before she finished her words, a long arrow suddenly shot out from the darkness. Before Yongchang Hou and the others could react, the long arrow pierced Aunt Xu's body...
